News about Merritt Wever

People often guess which actor they'd like to see in a film or TV show about their lives, but author Cheryl Strayed is the only one to have this happen twice. Reese Witherspoon leads her as she attempts to hike the Pacific Coast Trail alone in the 2014 film "Wild," based on her best-selling memoir. And in Hulu's latest film "Tiny Beautiful Things," based on Strayed's best-selling book of advice columns, Kathryn Hahn and Sarah Pidgeon team up to play a fictionalized version of Strayed named Clare. They were also produced by Witherspoon, which is something that links "Wild" and "Tiny Beautiful Things." "Wild" came from Witherspoon's old film company, Type A Films, while "Tiny Beautiful Things" is one of many of her Hello Sunshine productions. Strayed praises Witherspoon for one of "the women in Hollywood who have blazed a trail," when chatting with POPSUGAR.
